Choosing University Courses
 

Here's the course list -

http://registrar.mcmaster.ca/calendar/y ... ec_688.htm

I've chosen 9 out of my 10 classes, but I can't decide on my last one. Nothing else interest me, so i'm asking those that are going through/gone through university; what's a good course to take?

I'm enrolled in Humanities 1
I can take any level 1 course (ex. 1B03)
I'm already taking Comm. Tech - CMST 1A03
- CMST 1B03

Multimedia - MMEDIA 1A03
- MMEDIA 1B03

Cultural Studies - CSCT 1B03
- CSCT 1BB3

Theater and Film - THTR + FLM 1B03

Philosophy - 1E03

Psychology - 1A06

Thanks lovelys.

Don't take cultural studies, psychology, or philosophy. I took American Studies, which was viewing America's culture, and it was the biggest waste of time. Theater and Film sounds interesting, but it could be different from the way my university does those types of classes.

SOCIOL 1A06
AN INTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLOGY

Should be easy as shit.

cultural studies ties in with what im doing, its studying the media and consumer culture

I like sociology the best...and it is easy techically.

physcology sounds cool too

in the end for those types of courses I usually end up taking history courses or marketing courses.

1st year soc and psych classes are always full of hot chicks too.

where you going?

2nd year wasn't too bad either.

yup... I really liked psych too

Ill keep that in mind... happy:

thanks ladies. i took sociology, which spanned over both terms so i dropped philosphy.

That's actually a very good point. Tis always good to have a large pool to choose from.

oOo:

You might be there to learn somethign for a career but it is also nice to be worldly and not ignorant. I recommend taking your core classes while taking many classes that will improve you as a person. Also try to take a public speaking class.

VERY important if you have trouble with public speaking (Like most people), and are going to do courses like those that will most probably involve a bit of it.....

Isn't Public Speaking required when you enrollee as a freshman in college?

No, a speaking enhanced course is. Depending on the professor you might have to give a presentation or participate. A public speaking course is solely learning techniques when speaking in front of others and using them. (if anyone needs any leet speaches i have a few you can borrow)

Philosophy - 1E03

Only if you wish to learn logic and make sense of the world you live in through proper reasoning. If it's introductory, you'll find it a lot more enjoyable since you will touch on all the basic philosophical problems without completely destroying your brain. ;-)

Psychology - 1A06

Only if you wish to learn of the underlying mental processes governing your life and the associated problems, abilities and general cognitive theories currently accepted today. If it's an introductory course, you won't work too hard and still learn quite a bit of useful stuff...
